Ch 543: Bizarre

The other Magical Artifacts seemed to have anticipated it. The moment Jiang Nanyu crashed to the ground, they each used their abilities, working together as before to drag her into the Mountain Cave.

Although the Dharma Rope was gone, there were other ropes inside the Mountain Cave. They had experience from the previous time, and it didn’t take long to drag her inside.

When Jiang Nanyu woke up, she was faced with a row of Treasures standing straight, shoulder to shoulder, gazing at her.

Jiang Nanyu touched her nose. “Heh, I’ve got a nosebleed.”

Before leaving the Mountain Cave, the Treasures had warned her that the environment outside was different from inside. When they first arrived, they almost got crushed by the air pressure.

A Vessel Treasure that looked like a Luminous Cup scooped up some water from somewhere: “I don’t know if this water is drinkable. We don’t drink water, but you can wash your face.”

Jiang Nanyu smelled the slightly sour water. Although it was clean, after thinking it over, she refrained from drinking it.

After she had recovered somewhat, she gritted her teeth and climbed out of the Mountain Cave again.

Boom——

Jiang Nanyu collapsed to the ground again.

However, she had made some progress; at least she persevered five seconds longer than the first time.

The many Treasures skillfully dragged Jiang Nanyu back into the Mountain Cave, even taking care of wiping her nosebleed.

When Jiang Nanyu woke up again, after resting for a while, she climbed out of the Mountain Cave once more.

She persisted for longer periods, and her unconsciousness also lasted longer.

Until, Jiang Nanyu finally adapted completely to the external environment and pressure.

She was about to put her hands on her hips and laugh triumphantly at the sky when suddenly, it went dark before her eyes!

Again?!

But soon, Jiang Nanyu realized something was wrong. This time she didn’t faint.

Why did it get dark?

“Not good, it’s a Miasma Storm, come in quickly!”

A rope wrapped around her waist. Jiang Nanyu didn’t hesitate and quickly ducked into the Mountain Cave.

The next second, a wave of Miasma swept towards the Mountain Cave entrance. Jiang Nanyu instinctively tried to use her body to block the Miasma from entering the cave, but she seemed to discover that it automatically avoided the Mountain Cave…

After discovering this, Jiang Nanyu found it novel and simply lay at the entrance watching the Miasma surge wildly outside, impacting every corner.

Whether or not she was having a lapse in judgment, it was only when Little Sixteen exclaimed that Jiang Nanyu belatedly realized she had stuck her hand out.

Then, to the shock of all the Treasures, the Miasma seemed to avoid Jiang Nanyu, forming a strange and bizarre safe zone around her arm.

Jiang Nanyu looked at the scene before her, thoughtfully. To verify her thoughts, she extended her other arm as well.

Then, the surging Miasma immediately avoided her.

Jiang Nanyu slowly crawled out of the Mountain Cave. The Miasma, which was extraordinarily terrifying to the Magical Artifacts, actively avoided Jiang Nanyu, forming a strange protective circle around her.

“How could this be?”

The little guys were astonished.

Jiang Nanyu, however, was increasingly certain of her guess. It must be the deterrent effect of the Karmic Flame Lotus Body within her.

After confirming this, Jiang Nanyu immediately crawled back into the Mountain Cave, unfolded the cloth she had prepared, beckoned all the Magical Artifacts to come inside, and then tied them into a sturdy bundle that she carried on her back.

As for the Treasures inside the Mountain Cave that had already lost their life force, Jiang Nanyu, although she wanted to take them out, was unable to, so before leaving, she recited the Sutra of Deliverance for them.

The Wooden Staff, for some reason, changed its mind and was willing to leave with Jiang Nanyu, but it didn’t want to be in the Backpack, so Jiang Nanyu simply held it in her hand.

After leaving the Mountain Cave, the Treasures in the Backpack were unusually excited, as they had never been so close to the heart of the Miasma Storm before.

“Shu Shu is amazing!”

“Shu Shu is great!”

“Shu Shu can definitely take us out of here. I’ve never heard of anyone being able to walk freely in a Miasma Storm.”

A flurry of chatter erupted from the Backpack. Jiang Nanyu chuckled, “First tell me which way to go.”

“I-I-I know…” Xingxing stammered, “It’s… it’s Southeast, the Southeast direction…”

Jiang Nanyu looked up at the heavily overcast black sky and tilted her head back forty degrees, affecting a profound expression.

How is she supposed to determine direction?

At this moment, Jiang Nanyu was like someone with a terrible sense of direction, only able to distinguish front, back, left, and right. Southeast, Northwest—she had no idea.

Forget it, let’s just walk forward.

However, as she took two steps, a muffled voice appeared: “Wrong.”

Jiang Nanyu stopped and looked down at the Wooden Staff in her hand.

The Wooden Staff immediately turned in a different direction, pointing in the opposite direction, remaining silent.

Jiang Nanyu pouted; this Wooden Staff is really a quiet type.

She walked in the direction indicated, and when she occasionally encountered an intersection, the Wooden Staff silently indicated a new direction, consistently silent.

Jiang Nanyu was curious how it knew so clearly, but as expected, it didn’t speak.

“They say Spirit Tools take after their Owners. I wonder what kind of taciturn gourd your Owner is. They can’t be mute, can they?” Since it wouldn’t speak, Jiang Nanyu muttered to herself.

Suddenly, her scalp tingled. An intense sixth sense compelled her to quickly crouch down, head in her hands.

A gust of air brushed past her head.

“Shu Shu, watch out!”

Before Jiang Nanyu could see what was behind her, she heard Little Sixteen exclaim from the Backpack. Reflexively, she rolled to the side, successfully evading the new attack.

One attack after another came at her. Jiang Nanyu didn’t even have time to look back; she dodged frantically. In the chaos, the Wooden Staff suddenly slipped from her hand, shooting forward—

Jiang Nanyu didn’t hesitate and quickly followed!

The next second, a figure emerged from the thick, dark Miasma…
